Congress updates Medicare rules amid 1982 changes
Congress enacted the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act affecting Medicare rules starting Oct 1982 and Jan 1983. Major provisions include 80 percent inpatient radiology payments, primary insurer options for 65 to 69 workers, federal employees eligible from Jan 1983, hospice coverage from Nov 1983, and higher Part B premiums. Other proposals remain as nonbinding plans. Contact Social Security offices for details.
